Will the July 2020 Bar Exam be Delayed (End of April Update)

This follows up on our April 17th article “Will the July 2020 Bar Exam be Delayed” where we explained the issues with deciding whether to continue, cancel, or reschedule. As mentioned in that article, several states are waiting for the NCBE to make it’s recommendation on May 5.

It’s worth noting that as more states reschedule or delay, it becomes less likely the NCBE will hold the July 2020 exam.  They require a certain number of states to offer the exam in July before they will prepare and distribute the materials / offer grading. At this time, there are still several states planning to proceed.
